Get straight to the point

My path into design wasn’t a straight line. It started with curiosity. I’ve always been drawn to how things work, why people behave the way they do, and how systems, digital or otherwise, can be made simpler, clearer, and more meaningful. That curiosity led me to explore design not just as a craft but as a way of thinking, a lens for understanding problems, people, and possibilities.

Over the years, I’ve grown through hands-on experience, collaborating with teams across time zones, adapting to different workflows, and learning to navigate ambiguity with a sense of clarity and calm. I’ve learned to value the process as much as the outcome. It is in the messy middle where ideas are shaped, challenged, and improved. I still get excited by small details: a smoother flow, a sharper interaction, a cleaner layout. Not for perfection’s sake, but because the little things often shape how something feels.

Outside of work, I love traveling, getting lost somewhere new, and noticing the design of everyday life in unfamiliar places. Books have always been a way for me to reset or go deeper. I play tennis because it’s a passion, and I enjoy video games. I also love spending time with friends to recharge. And I’ve had a lifelong love for cars. I just really love them.

I’m based in Uruguay. Always learning, always observing, and always looking for the next thing that sparks curiosity. Sometimes that’s a product challenge. Sometimes it’s a conversation that helps me see things in a new way.

Recommendations

“I had the pleasure of working with and managing Bruno during our time at Tandym, a payment startup backed by Google, and I can confidently say he’s one of the most talented and well-rounded senior product designers I’ve ever worked with.

Bruno is an exceptionally fast learner, with a rare and valuable combination of design and development skills. His ability to move seamlessly between thoughtful, data-driven design and high-quality implementation, especially in Webflow, is unmatched. To this day, I draw inspiration from his craft which is some of the best I’ve seen.

He approaches challenges with a structured and logical design process, always grounding his decisions in user insight and product data. The results speak for themselves: Bruno’s work directly contributed to measurable lifts in conversion rates, signups, and monthly active users. His product design leadership helped us achieve one of the highest NPS scores in the fintech industry.

Bruno is a rare talent, and I’d recommend him without hesitation.”
